Windows9x/NT/2K/XP software written here and shared as-is:
TinyTime9 8.5 KB. Queries National Institute of Standards and Technology timeserver (Gaithersburg, MD) for correct time (+/- 1 second), sets your system clock and exits. No frills, no options. Update December 2002 automatically queries Boulder, CO if Gaithersburg does not respond.
TinyQuant v1.55 22 KB. A miniature utility for gel image analysis. Useful for integrating densities of gel bands in 16 bit greyscale (PC or Mac format ".gel" or TIFF files) or 24 bit RGB TIFF images, and for converting these to 8 bit greyscale TIFFs. Also useful for generating optimised 8 bit greyscale images from 24 bit RGB scans.
v1.51 Sept 2006 added arrow key movement of frame, keyboard shortcuts and copying of image portions to the clipboard.
v1.52 Jan 2007 added display of frame dimensions.
v1.53 May 2007 now handles more recent versions of .gel format images and notifies if image pixels are represented as square roots. ** Copy of image to Clipboard works in Win 9x but not currently in Win 2000/XP.
v1.54 May 2007 copy of image to Clipboard now also working in Win 2000/XP. (There is a bug in W2K+ systems, negative height is not detected as a flag for top-down representation of a DIB. See link ).
v1.55 Oct 2007 fixes a minor bug in behaviour of the contrast sliders at extreme positions.
Poisson9 7.6 KB, runs in DOS window under Win9x/NT/2K/XP/Vista. Computes Poisson maximum likelihood mean frequency from limiting dilution data, with 95% confidence limits and Chi-square value.
Poiss10 Aug 2008 fixed bug that would crash the program if the total number of negative replicas was equal to the number of cohorts
Poiss12 Oct 2008 fixed problems that could crash the program if the data conform poorly to the Poisson model.
TED v1.1 3.0 KB, runs under MS-DOS, or in a DOS window under Win9x/NT/2K. You want this if your hobby is booting PC's from floppy disks with limited space and you want to read/edit/write text files with either MS-DOS or Unix format line-endings. A modification of Tom Kihlken's original Tiny EDitor v1.0, with assembly source.
QuietCopy v1.0 8 KB, for Win9x, not needed in later Windows versions. QuietCopy alleviates the problem of system freezing during copying of large files to hard drive under Windows 9x, permitting other activities to multitask normally during the copy. Source in assembly language here .
